KPop Demon Hunters Debuts on Netflix

KPop Demon Hunters, Sony Pictures Animation's latest release on Netflix, follows the girl group Huntrix—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—as they secretly battle demons to protect their fans, blending K-pop energy with supernatural action. The film features a dynamic original soundtrack with contributions from top K-pop producers and members of TWICE. Its star-studded voice cast includes Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Ahn Hyo-seop, and Lee Byung-hun. Central to the story is Rumi's journey to embrace her half-demon heritage, setting up potential sequels. Director Maggie Kang, drawing on her own Korean cultural experiences, crafts an authentic homage to K-pop and Asian representation. Critics and fans praise the movie's bold concept, vibrant music, and heartfelt narrative, though some note the story favors spectacle over depth.
